Hey I found this spider in my yard, what is it? It looks kind of like a grass spider, but I don't think that's what it is. Any help? I know this was a female, I found it resting next to a web filled with little baby spiders. I live in Pennsylvania, kind of close to the MD border, if that helps. I'd say the spider was probably an inch and a half long.
This appears to be a nursery web spider, family Pisauridae, probably in the genus Pisaurina. See http://tinyurl.com/lqf7ok for another image.
drrex is correct; it's probably Pisaurina mira - see http://tinyurl.com/mtse2z
